Marilyn Santilli

Jan. 22, 2013

Marilyn Santilli, our beloved mom and grandma, met Jesus face to face on Jan. 12, 2013. She left our presence on earth and in that very moment opened her eyes to the glories of Heaven. We rejoice that she is now whole and complete in every way in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Marilyn was a retired elementary school teacher who continued teaching children's Sunday School classes many years past retirement. She enjoyed Bible Study Fellowship and was a member of Front Range Baptist Church. She began a greeting card ministry there as a way to encourage and bless fellow church members who were in need. She continued this ministry even through the last weeks of her life.

Marilyn will be remembered for her steadfast spirit and for the creative ways she found to invest in the lives of people in spite of her own physical limitations. Through almost daily involvement in the lives of her family, she taught us all how to love sacrificially, to give generously, and to live life with eternity in mind. Her legacy will live on in the lives of her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.

Mom and Grandma, we will miss you here so very much, but we will see you again one day. Thank you for everything, especially for following Jesus faithfully to the finish line. What incredible memories we have! You have blessed us beyond measure and we will always love you.

Marilyn leaves her legacy in her daughter and favorite son-in-law, Cindy and Bart Probasco, and in her treasured grandchildren Zachary, Elizabeth, Rachel, Daniel, Rebekah, and Joshua.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013, 10:30 a.m. at Front Range Baptist Church, Fort Collins. Interment will take place at Loveland Burial Park following services. At the request of the family no viewing will be held. Memorials may be made to Front Range Baptist Church in care of Viegut Funeral Home. Go to www.viegutfuneralhome.com for condolences.
